Glad you like them!

[@PerfectionReincarnated]

The Ctrl-A one really helped me!

[@Wizdabest1]

If you want to use a stop sign detector, but you already use the timer in your code, create a variable called something like timer 2 and then use code like this: When green flag clicked; Forever: Set timer 2 to timer Then as the decector, use a block saying when timer > timer 2 and run your code off of that

[@TheSTEAMist]

nice code!

[@diamondyoshi6649]

For getting/removing random list items, you can use the blocks in the project "Useful Hacked Blocks". Some of these tricks I didn't even know! I'm pretty good at transparent images, so the shift click paint bucket is nice.

[@TheSTEAMist]

Thanks for the tip! :)

[@Pineapple-bs1jo]

Or you can {delete [pick a random ( ) to ( )] thing of list}

There is a better way to make a thumbnail: Make it go to front layer and hide when flag clicked Use the hack that detects when the stop sign is clicked to make it show when the project stops This way takes more effort but it is better because if you use the "When this sprite clicked" block in the events category it does not work if you have a fully ghosted sprite in front of it. Other then that, this is the most useful scratch tutorial I have ever seen. Very, very helpful!

[@TheSTEAMist]

Thanks so much I really appreciate it!

[@xZaako]

i thought about the same about it

[@Turbo_orca25]

2:08 in also works if you change the value to pick random block input 1 is 1 input 2 is length of list!

those were pretty cool hacks there!

Thank you 🙃

[@BuildingBloxies]

the timer one could break projects that need to use the timer, so i suggest that you a variable instead, basically, if the green flag is clicked, they variable is set to timer +1 so that it is always bigger then the timer, but if the stop sign is clicked, that loop stops, so if timer is bigger then the variable, then (do whatever).

[@appel-seed_]

you can replace "delete (random) of [list]" with "delete (pick random (1) to (length of [list])) of [list]" although it is long

[@septuagintfather2189]

yooo new upload

[@TheSTEAMist]

yeees

👍👍👍 Awesome

[@TheSTEAMist]

Glad you think so :)

[@penguincute3564]

4:41 You can just lay it on top and save the project, while running just make it gone forever (it doesn’t need to appear even in stopped state)

[@TheSTEAMist]

wdym?

[@DuckieAM_viewing_chanel]

3:46 make the sprite as big as a backdrop and design it code it like when green flag clickes set ghost effect to 100 go to back layer when stop sign presses it will show but not when the game runs

[@Obv._Starvx]

Wow! This video was very very helpful! Mostly 6:05 was helpful i never knew it!

1:50 you can also use “pick random (1) to ((length of [list]))”

[@scratchyscratch4726]

Nice

[@TheSTEAMist]

Thank you :)

[@mitchkiggins9661]

the extra font one can just be done by makeing an svg in illustrator with a font that scratch does not use and uploading it to scratch

[@xZaako]

or maybe Scratch Addons?

[@CH33S3BURGUR]

Thanks for these. Just wonder if there is any way to have a stop signs detector without using the timer

maybe loudness?

There is hacked block to delete (random) but your method also works, as this block was useful so it is still useful.

[@thescratchguy428]

Bit of issues: For the stop sign detector: How do you use the timer when the timer is reset for each frame? For hidden sprites: Those sprites existed before Scratch 1.3 and have been vectorized. For deleting a random item of a list: Basically used before scratch 2.0 and scratch mods; Also you can use delete (pick random (1) to (length of [list v])) of [list v] For the paint editor: I already know !!! For making a thumbnail: *I have scratch addons*
